Pg. 227 'Like widening rings in a pond, the Will and the Idea spread, searching out, touching and tripping the delicate subatomic trigger of PyrE.' This is like an amazing part. Just one person destroys everything. It is amazing that just every person has to have the responsibility of the world. One person had one thought and the aftermath is incredible. *kayle Giarth*
Pg.242: What he had seen was the past passing before his crumbling senses in the final moment of death. This is explaining Gully but I do not believe this is the end of Gully Foyle, i think it is the rebirth. In seconds he gets to see himself when revenge fulled him and he realizes that he cant be the man anymore. That Gully Foyle dies but a new Gully Foyle is born.-Taylor Vladic
I agree with you, Taylor. This section of the novel has to be Gully's rebirthing. By seeing himself commit those terrible crimes and murder those people his developing conscience has finally been completed. And when Gully finaly decieded to turn himself in, that just made him mor respectable, in my eyes. Not many criminals have the guts to admit their crimes and actually ask to be punished. -Heather Gibson
I agree with both Heather and Taylor. Gully was reborn and he has become a better man in the progress. He has become a man that wants thing to be right. He has gained a consecie and wants to do morethings right than wrong. He now has feeling to. I guess he has had them all along but he never showed them. He is finally not an "animal" but a human.- Katelyn Broughton
he was not blind, not deaf, not senseless. I think this means he knows what is going on even whenever it seems like he doesnt. - damian lascoli
Page 232...He was trying to escape. Like a trapped firefly or some seabird caught in the blazing brazier of a naked beacon fire, he was beating about in a frenzy...a blackened, burning creature, dashing himself against the unknown. He was the power to go to different places in the matter of seconds so i dont get by he wouldnt be able to just leave. He should be able to escape if he wanted because of jaunted. -[lauryn colmer]
I think that the fact he managed to jaunte, even if only for a few seconds, was a remarkable feat. If I was just in a major explosion that messed up my senses, and also lit me on fire, I don't think I would even be able to concentrate. Instead I think that I would panic and eventually burn to death, because I wasn't able to figure out a way to get away. - Christian Graham
Pg. 235 'He was not blind, not deaf, not senseless. Sensation came to him, but filtered through a nervous system twisted and short-circuited by the shock of the PyrE concussion.' This statement mystifies me. I think it is so weird that all of his senses are mixed up. Even though he is blind, but not really, I find it amazing that they still consider him not blind. I would think that he would be blind. I couldn't imagine what he saw, felt, tasted, and heard that weren't supposed to be seen/tasted/ felt/ heard. This really mystifies me. I can't even begin to imagine each thing. -Nicole Crossman
I agree with Niocole Crossman. I think he is blind not literately but figerately, he is not seeing and not using his senses. He can not with it but he it still there.- Katelyn Broughton
It's an agreeable statement by Nicole. Gully has lost all sense proper senses. He doesn't know what is what at this point pretty much. -Joel Redfoot
The fact that Gully had his senses all mixed up was a pain. It gave me a headache even thinking about it. I could imagine the loud nonsense that Gully heard as motion. It had him all confused as he struggled in the fire. I imagine that was the author's way of portraying what Hell is like. But Gully was apparently redeemed when he heard Robin talking to him, I sort of thought of her as an angel. -Casey Pipetti
i agree with casey. it kind of goes with the religion thing. the whole thing with his senses was very odd, and i can only imagine what that would be like. - Haley Kline
I see what everyone up top is talking about with the whole re-birthing and everything but I dont really think its like that. He is just his old self because we was never exacly this mean from what I read in the book before the whole Vorga episode. I feel like he was never usually a bad guy so he realized his mistakes. -Marissa Kosko-Blyler
The burning man jaunted. I dont see how that is possible. i dont see how you can be focused of jaunting whenever you are on fire. - damian lascoli
Page 233: "Sound came as sight to him, as light in strange patterns. He saw the sound of his shouted name in vivid rhythems FOYLE FOYLE...." How did he know they were shouting FOYLE? if he only could see patterns they let out and not floading words (like letters in the air), then how would he know they were shouting for him. for all he knows, they could have been shouting BOIL asking him to boil in the fire or something? Can he read sound waves? -Janelle Meadows
pages 234+ foley is under tremndous stress of the heat and what not from the burning build and his sences get all mixed up " he sees sound".. "feels, taste" and so forth and travels back in time and relives his past experiences. i think this is symbolic for him embrassing sin itself like jesus. He had to understand true pain and confusion.-John Benton
re. i agree with john, it hows him being like jesus, he has gone through so much, but then stuff seems to get worse. but even after all the stress he still moves on. -*Aaron Gromiller*
Response: I agree with John how this is very symbolic to the book and religous refrence. I think that this is the part ofthe book where Gully is understanding what he did to those people to find information an Vorga T:1339 and now he has to pay for it. -Catherine Averill
Response: I agree with Catherine and John. Gully did terrible things to people and he needed to be punished for his wrongdoings.- ALEX GEESEY
Pg. 228 - "A milligram of PyrE deposited on a disk of filter paper long since discarded, forgotten, rounded up in a waste paper drive and at last pulped into a mold for type metal, destroyed the entire late night edition of the Glasgow Observer." I understand that PyrE is an extremely explosive substance, and that if focused upon can cause destruction and wreak havoc, but when it talks of a small fragment of it destroying the Glasgow Observer, I'm just curious as to what the Glasgow Observer truely is? Any input from anyone? -Cullen Schimminger
Pg. 235 "...and again Foyle Space Jaunted." This could be another way that Gully is a God-like figure because space jaunting is considered suicide and no one can do it.- ALEX GEESEY
I believe with Alex on this. Gully is a freak and can do things that no one else can do. Sam Ellis
I agree with Alex, but this would be another way that Gully is different from other people. SKIPPY
y liked the whole thing how his senses were all messe up. It was a neat detail to the pyre explosion. I also thought it was cool how Robin was the only voice that could help him get out. It made sense to me. -Haley Kline
When he was going through the maze and had the symbols and oddly shaped letters, I thought it was neat and made it a lot more different and interesting to read. Sam Ellis
i agree. i think he could be god like. - Damian Lascoli
Pg. 235 : "...and again Foyle Space Jaunted." I think that its pretty amazing that Foyle can do this and that this separates him from everyone else meaning this has to be an important symbol in the novel that Foyle is more than just man. He is famous for this talent that he didnt know he had and everyone who knows about it cannot solve how he does it. This sentence proves that he somehow figures out how to do it and uses it to his advantage.-Mindy Hayton
A BEAM OFLIGHT ATTACKED This part is awsome!!!! It iis so cool how his scenses are all mixed up. *Kayle Giarth*
I agree with Kayle on this. How the book describes the senses by using different wording and symbols is something i have never seen before and i find it awesome. -SKIPPY
I agree with Kayle and Justin on this. The way that the author wrote this really let me know how he wanted us to feel. And it was accomplished. - Tyler Slippy
he was trying to escape. From what? - Damian Lascoli
pg. 242. "IT WAS OLIVIA PRESTEIGN GAVE THE ORDER. OLIVIA PRESTEIGN. NOT ME. DON'T HURT ME. OLIVIA PRESTEIGN." After reading this, my jaw literally dropped open. I was in such disbelief by this and it's odd to me how everything in this book is inter connected. i felt bad for Gully for him to find out the one he loves is the one who gave the order. I would have no idea what to do with myself if i was him. -Taylor Cashdollar.
Pg. 228 " A milligram of PyrE deposited on a disk of filter paper long since discarded, forgotten, rounded up in waste paper drive and at alast pulped into a mold for type metal, destroyed the entire late night editino of the Glasgow Observer. A fragment of PyrE spattered on a lab smock long since converted into rag paper, destroyed a Thank You note written by Lady Shrapnel, and destroyed an additional ton of first class mail in the process." This shows how powerful PyrE is and lets you know how meaningful it is that the world gets it. - Tyler Slippy
Pg. 227 "Like widening rings in a pond, the Will and the Idea spread, searching out, touching and tripping the delicate subatomic trigger of PyrE. The thought found particles, dust, smoke, vapor, motes, molecules." - This seems a bit morbid to me. But not totally morbid. It just seems that something's going to happen and just the way this sentence is written it gives me a bit of a chill. Also, I read this and I was like, who's Will and Idea? Are they people? Or are they ideas? So I was also pretty confused by this sentence. - Kaylee Goldsworthy =]
